1. Grateful for people on this site that are forgiving when I am behind on comments.  I will be better.
2. I have a roof over my head during this recent weather.  I feel so bad for those who are on the streets.
3. A good job to go to, even when it wipes me out physically somedays.
4. God….always God.
5. Waking up sober and nicotine free another day.
6. My son.  He is gearing up to start looking for an apartment once he gets his tax returns back.  I will miss him but know it is long overdue.  He is starting his life on his own without student loans, however.  Grateful for that.
7. My pets.  They get into stuff and drive me crazy but then I love them to pieces. They are family.  No way around it and I would not have it any other way.
8. The buses still ran during the heart of the snow storm this week.  It took almost 40 minutes longer to get home one day, however, I was on a warm bus with a good driver.
9. We broke the record for February snow fall. I am grateful we are not Tucson, Arizona, however, and getting around 35 inches on one day if I heard correctly.  Reminded me of our mega storm of 1991.
10. Family, friends, love.

1. I got to go back to work today.
2. I feel better.
3. I have nice outerwear for the cold temps, although could use some snow pants.
4. God.
5. I woke up today….what could be better?
6. Good snows like M*A*S*H on TVland.  I love that show.
7. My son.  
8. Family and friends.
9. My boys.  Skeeter is glad he is an indoor cat.  Jax goes out and in fast.  I keep an eye on him
10. I am sober and nicotine free. 

1.  Waking up and not feeling well.  I am grateful to have sick time at work to pay for a day off to  rest my body.

4.  The sun peaked out today.
5.  It is warmer today but will dip in temperatures   again tomorrow and last till at least Thursday?

7.  The pets were getting into mischief this morning     but I am grateful I have them.
8.  Watching The Cat In The Hate Knows on Channel   12.  I felt like a kid again if for only a little bit.
9.  Feeling like a kid again makes me miss my mother   who has been gone for 31 years this coming April,   but I am grateful she is with dad and the Lord.
10.  Grateful for my church and the prayer team.  I   asked that they pray for the dear woman whose   husband committed suicide recently. 
11.  As always, I am grateful for friends and family. I   may not have had my parents as long as I wanted   to have them, but I am grateful for all my sisblings   still being alive.  
12.  God.

Waking up another day to a warm house.

My dog Jax prancing around the house after getting in from the cold. 

My cat Skeeter enjoying a box full of brown paper from the Jet company.  We always think he is getting into something until we realize he is just kneading the brown paper to his liking. 

That I have warm Winter clothing for my walk to church.

That God shows the wonder of the world and how beautiful it is, even in the Wintertime.

Good coffee.  Toasted Southern Pecan flavor.

The weekend off after working 7 in a row.

Staying sober and nicotine free another day.

My son, family and friends.
